Changing the belt within the transmission of your scooter can be a guessing game. There are tell-tell signs that you should change it before you are left stranded.

  • I wish you had shown us how to put the belt on. Like what parts to take off and which parts to leave on. I did give you a thumbs up anyway.
  • You're a hair away from reaching 60mph!! The effect of wear and tear is incredible. I didn't expect to see pieces of belt coming off. Good thing you caught it in time, before the S N A P. I like that the color on the display changes when you pass 50mph ;)

    I just turned 200 miles on Boot Scoot. Everything is still working great. My neighbor made some comments in the past but, after he ended up behind me, he realized I wasn't lying about it going over 50. Now he's trying to talk his wife into letting him get one. I hope he doesn't plan on us being riding buddies. That ain't happening! 😊

    If my belt didn't snap. I never would have found this channel. My belt started slapping the cvt cover at max speed and the rpms were through the roof. The top speed was great though. So, apparently I can't get away from these scooters. My friend just gave me a 50cc gy6 Icebear.

    I just got 12000 miles on my 2009 Kymco Super 8 150 and replaced everything in the CVT with Malossi gear and am totally happy with the quality, I don't know if the original owner of my bike ever had anything replaced I imagine he did so when I got it with just over 4000 miles on it I got 8000 miles without any CVT issues. I'll see how Malossi parts hold up, from what I've heard there really good.

    Hey maybe you can help me I’m have a issue with my 50cc moped . My back wheel is not spinning. I changed the belt, Variator, and clutch and still having the same issue. I took off the cvt case and started the bike and noticed that everything seems to work but noticed the front part of the clutch that spins the wheel was not spinning. When I spin it manually the wheel spins but not when the engine is running, just the belt, back part of the clutch, and Variator. The clutch is new so I know the pads are not slipping, only thing I can think of is it’s not getting enough torque for the clutch springs to open the clutch to catch. Your thoughts please.

    Many times when the belt snaps while riding you won't know but your crankshaft suffers a slight shift and after that your bendix or starter gear starts binding while cranking until it breaks and if you only change the bendix it will break again until you find metal shavings in your oil from the piston rod bearing, so if you get a belt snap you should change your crankshaft also before it puts stress on your starter gear, bendix, ,,,,all because of a belt snap, thats why it's best to just change the belt at 4000km like the book says even if it looks good.
